The Role of English in Enhancing Digital Education in North-East Nigeria: A Sociolinguistic Perspective​

ABSTRACT:

As countries get nearer to the 2030 target for Sustainable Development Goal 4.7, a measurement gap that threatens to prevent proper peace education is formed. In this article, a new neuroethical framework is presented that merges BCIs with empathy assessment and enhancement in education through real-time interactions. The use of self-reported surveys to assess values education such as peace, love, and tolerance is the main issue here because these surveys are biased and do not show real outreach development. New methods in affective neuroscience reveal that BCIs can identify the neural signatures of empathy in brain activities more accurately and consistently than ever before. We propose a model with three elements: (1) measuring empathy using electroencephalogram (EEG) during peace education, (2) conducting neurofeedback protocols with the aim to increase empathy, and (3) protecting cognitive rights with the help of ethical measures. Initial studies show that BCI-augmented teaching produces more positive behavior than traditional methods. Still, it needs strict ethical monitoring about privacy issues, informed consent with at-risk groups, and fair availability of resources. This neuroethical approach is providing education systems with research-backed means to convert the rhetoric of values into quantifiable growth in terms of character, thus pushing further the global peace education goals.
